Xenobots

What are Xenobots?

Xenobots are entirely new lifeforms created by scientists using living cells. They are microscopic, self-healing, programmable organisms, built from frog stem cells. Unlike traditional robots, they are biological, meaning they can grow, heal, and even reproduce. They are currently being explored for a variety of applications, from environmental remediation to targeted drug delivery. Examples of current research include using Xenobots to clean microplastics or to deliver medicine directly to specific locations in the body.
